Rush River Report

Recommended Posts

Fished Pine Creek and Rush River for the 1st time today. Probably saw more trout swimming around today than I've ever seen! Unfortunately they weren't too interested in spinners. Day started with me ripping a hole in the ankle area of my boot mad so that took care of doing much wading...still ended up with a very soggy foot. Both Pine and Rush provided a lot more fishable waters than I had expected. Caught my 1st ever tiger trout out of Pine, then caught 2 brownies and a brookie out of Rush. Can't wait to go back!

I was very surprised to catch the tiger. Not that I knew anything about pine creek to begin with, but all I had heard about was how many brook trout are in the creek, never heard a peep of brownies being in there. Would be a very nice creek to introduce my kids to trout fishing smile

This is my 1st year trout fishing in WI, and the previous two weekends I had fished the "kinni", and had proclaimed that as my favorite trout stream! Not anymore! The rush is awesome! Now I just have to figure out when I can get back there!

Sounds fun. I should give it a try. Was turkey hunting down there this past week, just west of 63. Took a spin yesterday on that road that goes from 63 and ends up south of the Red Barn. That one bridge over the river had a bunch of cars parked near it. Nice area. Good Luck.

Yeah, every spot I stopped at on the rush had at least 3 or 4 cars parked. But there is so much available river to fish (which I didn't know), I pretty much had every stop to myself. I got to talk to a bunch of guys from stop to stop and got some good tips.

Enjoyed a good morning on the Rush today. Brookies were poppin' early. Things slowed a bit when the sun got higher. Ended up with 7 brookies and 4 brown trout. Biggest was 13 inches, lost a couple that could've been around 15. Tore apart my hip boots walking through the brush, luckily it was a hot day, so I didn't mind the leak crazy

Hit the river super early today thinking there would be people galore on the river. Surprisingly there wasn't many people on the river at all shocked Caught 3 brownies and a little brookie. All 4 fish were caught in the 1st place I stopped at, so the rest of the day was slow going. Rebel craw got a lot of attention...which made sense, there were little crayfish darting around everywhere. Also seen the biggest garter snake ever! Freaked me out for a second because I'ver never seen one remotely close to that size before. Got to see a family of deer playing in the water just downstream from one of the pools I was fishing. Also chit chatted a little with some people riding their horses along the river. So, despite the slow action, was a very nice day to be out!

Went out there with my 3 year old son just to goof around a little on saturday. Didn't bring much for gear. Luckily it was hot out, because the river is a little chilly to be walking around in sandals eek Only fished 1 spot out of Martel. Caught a nice fat 14 inch brown and a tiny brookie. Had a few strikes and saw lot's of other trout swimming around.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
